<VV> Newfangled 'ring compressor' updated

[Ron]

Right!  How often do you ever R and R a piston and cylinder?  Maybe three 
times in it's lifetime and then the chamfer would have to be done over 
whenever it's bored larger.  More likely the piston will never be removed 
except when it's bored.  Let that idea die fast!
